Blueberry Lemon Cheesecake Cookies

So, I kind of thought since I have a little boy and not a little girl, I’d be saved from a bunch of childhood drama.

Turns out that is not exactly the case.

In case you didn’t know, little boys can squeal and fit-throw like the best of ‘em. Fortunately, we’re growing out of most of that.

There are exceptions, though.

Case in point: On Sunday, a we experienced a series of events that eventually led to time-out. Plus, further punishment included a restriction against anything Super Mario related for the rest of the day.

The horror.

And, as always follows time-out, the Tall Boy sat down with Doodle to discuss “why” he was in time-out and “why” certain types of behavior are not acceptable. At the end, Doodle nodded his agreement, apologized for “acting that way,” and then said in a small voice, “This is the saddest day of my whole life.”

I like to seem like a sympathetic parent, but I’ll be honest–it took pretty much everything I had to keep from howling with laughter. Instead, the Tall Boy and I jammed one of these blueberry lemon cheesecake cookies into our mouths and nodded solemnly. “Yep, pretty sad,” we agreed.

These cookies turned out nicely–very soft, with the plump blueberries oozing their sweet juice out of the tops. Coupled with a mild hint of tart lemon and a sweet cream cheese filling, these could cheer up anyone’s sad mood.

I truly hope it is the saddest day of his life. If so, it will be a pretty good life. Thanks for the laugh this morning! And these cookies look like just the Father’s Day treat for my blueberry-loving husband. Blueberries were on sale at the grocery store yesterday. Bonus!Kim recently posted..A Double Dip

BANNED from Super Mario?! Quelle horreur! But seriously, that is pretty rough. Poor thing didn’t know you or Tall Boy could get so tough on a lighter note, these cookies are making my mouth water. Cheesecake and lemon and blueberries in one cookie? Sign me up for 800 of them, because I’m in love. Actually, never really heard of putting cream cheese in cookies but judging by how puffy and perfect yours look, I think it’s my new go-to!Hayley recently posted..Lite Triple Coconut Cupcakes

I have had moments like that when punishing our kids that I just wanted to “howl” with laughter too:-) I love how dramatic they can be over little things. Although if I got banned from my computer it would be a sad day, so I guess I understand his pain:-0 I’m sure a handful of these yummy cookies got him through his sad day!!!BruCrew Life recently posted..Mocha Cookie Crumble Cupcakes

Oh, I hate that part of parenthood – the discipline part. As they get older they start to negotiate, which really sucks. Or, they refuse to go to time out/their room/wherever and you realize that you can no longer lift them in their pissed off state. Sigh. I think these cookies would make any day better! They are beyond gorgeous too!Dorothy @ Crazy for Crust recently posted..Whatever Friday {I’m on Ziplist!}
